The Prescott Courier. Democratic

The Prescott Courier, Democratic pays the following handsome compli ment to our Republican Representa- ivefrom Yuma county:
 The discussion on Smiths freight and fare bill, the other day, called out a-great deal of the latent eloquence- O! the House. Mir. Baker, of Yuma, laid down few very important points to be considered, among which was the . matter of navigation on the Colorado river- At present the Colorado Steam Navigation Company supplies the nu- merous mining camps along that river, between Yuma and the Virgin River, and were this bill to become law, trans portation must cease. Now the uues- tion is: What is to become of all those mines and other industries, with. out any transportation facilities Mir. Baker has stuck a pin where it belongs.

Amoug the first acts of Hon. Chas N Strauss, the new Superintendent of Public Instruction, after his induc. ton into office, was an attempt to s1 cure the passage of bill raising his own salary and lowering the salaries of County Superintendents; also em- towering the Territorial Supsrinten
 dent to prescribe the text books to be used in the schools. The Superinten- dent is evidently in favorof economy - when 1t strikes other peoples pockets -a kind of rob-Petsr-to-pay Paul conomy. The salary of the Superin- tendent of Public Instruction is now sufficient to remunerate him for all the duties he has to perform, and more than sufficient when the benefits re- sulting from that office are taken into consideration. .-....

The appointment of Immigration Commissioner has not yet been made and there is yet considerable specula. tion as to who the appointee will be. There can be no question, however, about L. c. Hughes, of the Star, being the choice of the Arizona Democracy by a large majority. The press of the territory is almost a unit in his favor. In this county we doubt if there is single Democrat who does not favor his appointment. If the Governor wants to do real handsome thing, one that would meet with the hearty approval of his party, he will appoint Bro. Hughes to the position. He has not only served his party faith fully, hut he has for these many years labored for the best interests of Ar zona.

Messrs. A. B. Smallwood, w. H. StJ ohm, H. Warren and Dan Martin have been at work for the last month on new canal which heads on the Salt river down near the Mcdonald place. The canal is to carry 5000 inches of water and will cover forty sections of good land. Its outcome will be at or near the Agua Fria, on the Yuma road.

Of the States. in The North, in the
South in the East and even in lie
West, the yield per acre Of all the
great cereal crops has becIe steadily
declining since the early years Of

has impoverished the soil and then
gone West. It is not certain that
this process has even yet been ar
rested. The last statistics available
for general comparison are not yet

States have held their own, not by
means of improved agriculture, but
by the general establishment of
